No heart? Trying to get a franchise player on a rookie contract to build around with all our upcoming cap space?

No heart?

Anti-tanking folks must got no brains then.

Let's all take a trip down the purple and yellow brick road for some courage to get a much needed draft pick.

I could understand if it was something we could vote on and it could happen. But we can't and it's not, so get over that nonsense.

Rubio with 12-7-13-5 so far tonight.

Hope he's available with the 17th pick. :hat

CP1708 · Nov 10, 2013

Henry is regressing like hell.

Want that kid to get on track goin forward.

[quote name="CP"]If a team has good scouting, yes.

Note, we have always had good scouting.

Those misses you want to refer to, dumb franchises.

That's why we landed Bynum + Eddie Jones at 10. Idiots ahead of us.[/quote]Fair enough.

Now do more of that. :lol

CP1708 · Nov 10, 2013

Mitch and Jim see this coming, "hopefully" they put good money into their scouting this season, even more than a normal season for us. This pick will be hugely important. They have to get it right.

It is imperative that the team goes on a 10 to 15 game losing streak starting now. That will discourage mamba from coming back early and it will cement them as a lottery team.

Gasol was amazing tonight for teamtank. I am gaining new found respect for the big Spaniard.

CP1708 · Nov 10, 2013

Currently 12th in the West. Only the Jazz, Kings, and Nuggets behind us in the West.

Nash with more issues. He needs to be put down.

Hold up...

did these dudes from Minny really put 47 on us in the first quarter?... :eek

:x

The part of me that hates tanking (and always will) was like this looking at the box score...

wait im confused, is there a unspoken nba drafting rule where teams cant pick 15-25 ranked players when picking 10-15th?

if there are 5 players that we like and we are picking 11th we pick the one that we think will contribute the most to our team

the person we pick 11th is not going to magically become a scrub and the 4 guys that we dont pick are not magically going to become allstars because some other team drafted them after 15

00david00 · Nov 11, 2013

welp, if there was a year to be terrible, this is it i guess. funny how it works out that we actually have a first rounder, and a terrible squad on the year with a projected strong draft class. I don't even look at this as purposely tanking, we're just going to lose games whether we like it or not :lol

I hope we get a top 5-10 pick, sign our big name FAs, develop our future star and stack chips going forward :hat

impressive audition by kevin love today for his future contract as well

mrdieselfuel09 · Nov 11, 2013

Might be to safe to say that Naah might be forced to retire?

sea manup · Nov 11, 2013

important two games coming up. we need to work hard and lose to NO again or else we will be ahead of them in the rankings. we also need to try our best to not win in denver to come within one game of them

WAKKO! · Nov 11, 2013

Any chance MDA gets fired this season I know it's tank season but I can't stand looking at him I rather lose good than losing ugly

The Nuggets are the second night of a back to back in Denver, so that's a guaranteed loss.

I'm sure Brian Shaw will try his hardest to stick it to the Lakers, too. But then again, the Nuggets look awful in their own right.

Watching videos of Jabari Parker makes me so happy

Don't be so dense.. You know exactly what I am saying.

Looking at Jodie's stat line 10% into the season... This is exactly the level he is capable of playing, and the level he needs to keep up.

Hill is playing great as always..

Farmar needs to stop being a turnover machine, and I'll be happy with him.

Blake has been solid.

Kaman has been solid. Exactly what we needed him to be he is.

Nick Young needs to improve his three point shot. I'm fine with 41.7% shooting from the field from him... I'm not fine with 1/3 of his shots from 3 giving me 26.1%.

Xavier coming back down to earth.

Wes is starting to play up, but still not good enough.

Turns out we have the best bench in the league so far :eek
